Microorganisms 2024; 12:1381. [PMID: 39065150 PMCID: PMC11278713 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12071381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cleavage of recalcitrant polysaccharides. There are limited reports on LPMOs capable of concurrently catalyzing the oxidative cleavage of both cellulose and chitin. In this study, we identified and cloned a novel LPMO from the newly isolated bacterium Chitinilyticum aquatile CSC-1, designated as CaLPMO10. When using 2, 6-dimethylphenol (2, 6-DMP) as the substrate, CaLPMO10 exhibited optimal activity at 50 °C and pH 8, demonstrating good temperature stability at 30 °C. Even after a 6 h incubation at pH 8 and 30 °C, CaLPMO10 retained approximately 83.03 ± 1.25% residual enzyme activity. Most metal ions were found to enhance the enzyme activity of CaLPMO10, with ascorbic acid identified as the optimal reducing agent. Mass spectrometry analysis indicated that CaLPMO10 displayed oxidative activity towards both chitin and cellulose, identifying it as a C1/C4-oxidized LPMO. CaLPMO10 shows promise as a key enzyme for the efficient utilization of biomass resources in future applications.

Abstract
The whole enzymatic conversion of chitin is a green and promising alternative to current strategies, which are based on lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and chitinases. However, the lack of LPMOs with high activity toward α-chitin limits the efficient bioconversion of α-chitin. Herein, we characterized a high chitin-active LPMO from Oceanobacillus sp. J11TS1 (OsLPMO10A), which could promote the decrystallization of the α-chitin surface. Furthermore, when coupled with OsLPMO10A, the conversion rate of α-chitin to N-acetyl chitobiose [(GlcNAc)2] by three chitinases (Serratia marcescens, ChiA, -B, and -C) reached 30.86%, which was 2.03-folds that without the addition of OsLPMO10A. Moreover, the results of synergistic reactions indicated that OsLPMO10A and chitinases promoted the degradation of α-chitin each other mainly on the surface. To the best of our knowledge, this study achieved the highest yield of N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides (N-acetyl COSs) among reported LPMOs-driven bioconversion systems, which could be regarded as a promising candidate for α-chitin bioconversion.

Multi-enzyme Machinery for Chitin Degradation in the Chitinolytic Bacterium Chitiniphilus shinanonensis SAY3 T. Curr Microbiol 2023; 80:360.

Abstract
The chitinolytic bacterium, Chitiniphilus shinanonensis SAY3T was examined to characterize its chitin-degrading enzymes in view of its potential to convert biomass chitin into useful saccharides. A survey of the whole-genome sequence revealed 49 putative genes encoding polypeptides that are thought to be related to chitin degradation. Based on an analysis of the relative quantity of each transcript and an assay for chitin-degrading activity of recombinant proteins, a chitin degradation system driven by 19 chitinolytic enzymes was proposed. These include sixteen endo-type chitinases, two N-acetylglucosaminidases, and one lipopolysaccharide monooxygenase that catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds. Among the 16 chitinases, ChiL was characterized by its remarkable transglycosylation activity. Of the two N-acetylglucosaminidases (ChiI and ChiT), ChiI was the major enzyme, corresponding to > 98% of the total cellular activity. Surprisingly, a chiI-disrupted mutant was still able to grow on medium with powdered chitin or GlcNAc dimer. However, its growth rate was slightly lower compared to that of the wild-type SAY3. This multi-enzyme machinery composed of various types of chitinolytic enzymes may support SAY3 to efficiently utilize native chitin as a carbon and energy source and may play a role in developing an enzymatic process to decompose and utilize abundant chitin at the industrial scale.

Abstract
In nature, chitin, the most abundant marine biopolymer, does not accumulate due to the action of chitinolytic organisms, whose saccharification systems provide instructional blueprints for effective chitin conversion. Therefore, discovery and deconstruction of chitinolytic machineries and associated enzyme systems are essential for the advancement of biotechnological chitin valorization. Through combined investigation of the chitin-induced secretome with differential proteomic and transcriptomic analyses, a holistic system biology approach has been applied to unravel the chitin response mechanisms in the Gram-negative Jeongeupia wiesaeckerbachi. Hereby, the majority of the genome-encoded chitinolytic machinery, consisting of various glycoside hydrolases and a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase, could be detected extracellularly. Intracellular proteomics revealed a distinct translation pattern with significant upregulation of glucosamine transport, metabolism, and chemotaxis-associated proteins. While the differential transcriptomic results suggested the overall recruitment of more genes during chitin metabolism compared to that of glucose, the detected protein-mRNA correlation was low. As one of the first studies of its kind, the involvement of over 350 unique enzymes and 570 unique genes in the catabolic chitin response of a Gram-negative bacterium could be identified through a three-way systems biology approach. Based on the cumulative data, a holistic model for the chitinolytic machinery of Jeongeupia spp. is proposed.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMO) are expected to change the current status of chitin resource utilization. This study reports that targeted enrichment of the microbiota was performed with chitin by the selective gradient culture technique, and a novel LPMO (M2822) was identified from the enrichment microbiota metagenome. First, soil samples were screened based on soil bacterial species and chitinase biodiversity. Then gradient enrichment culture with different chitin concentrations was carried out. The efficiency of chitin powder degradation was increased by 10.67 times through enrichment, and chitin degradation species Chitiniphilus and Chitinolyticbacter were enriched significantly. A novel LPMO (M2822) was found in the metagenome of the enriched microbiota. Phylogenetic analysis showed that M2822 had a unique phylogenetic position in auxiliary activity (AA) 10 family. The analysis of enzymatic hydrolysate showed that M2822 had chitin activity. When M2822 synergized with commercial chitinase to degrade chitin, the yield of N-acetyl glycosamine was 83.6% higher than chitinase alone. The optimum temperature and pH for M2822 activity were 35°C and 6.0. The synergistic action of M2822 and chitin-degrading enzymes secreted by Chitiniphilus sp. LZ32 could efficiently hydrolyze shrimp shell powder. After 12 h of enzymatic hydrolysis, chitin oligosaccharides (COS) yield reached 4,724 μg/mL. To our knowledge, this work is the first study to mine chitin activity LPMO in the metagenome of enriched microbiota. The obtained M2822 showed application prospects in the efficient production of COS.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) is known as an oxidatively cleaving enzyme in recalcitrant polysaccharide deconstruction. Herein, we report a novel AA10 LPMO derived from Bacillus subtilis (BsLPMO10A). A substrate specificity study revealed that the enzyme exhibited an extensive active-substrate spectrum, particularly for polysaccharides linked via β-1,4 glycosidic bonds, such as β-(Man1 → 4Man), β-(Glc1 → 4Glc) and β-(Xyl1 → 4Xyl). HPAEC-PAD and MALDI-TOF-MS analyses indicated that BsLPMO10A dominantly liberated native oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 3-6 and C1-oxidized oligosaccharides ranging from DP3ox to DP6ox from mixed linkage glucans and beechwood xylan. Due to its synergistic action with a variety of glycoside hydrolases, including glucanase IDSGLUC5-38, xylanase TfXYN11-1, cellulase IDSGLUC5-11 and chitinase BtCHI18-1, BsLPMO10A dramatically accelerated glucan, xylan, cellulose and chitin saccharification. After co-reaction for 72 h, the reducing sugars in Icelandic moss lichenan, beechwood xylan, phosphoric acid swollen cellulose and chitin yielded 3176 ± 97, 7436 ± 165, 649 ± 44, and 2604 ± 130 μmol/L, which were 1.47-, 1.56-, 1.44- and 1.25-fold higher than those in the GHs alone groups, respectively (P < 0.001). In addition, the synergy of BsLPMO10A and GHs was further validated by the degradation of natural feedstuffs, the co-operation of BsLPMO10A and GHs released 3266 ± 182 and 1725 ± 107 μmol/L of reducing sugars from Oryza sativa L. and Arachis hypogaea L. straws, respectively, which were significantly higher than those produced by GHs alone (P < 0.001). Furthermore, BsLPMO10A also accelerated the liberation of reducing sugars from Celluclast® 1.5 L, a commercial cellulase cocktail, on filter paper, A. hypogaea L. and O. sativa L. straws by 49.58 % (P < 0.05), 72.19 % (P < 0.001) and 54.36 % (P < 0.05), respectively. This work has characterized BsLPMO10A with a broad active-substrate scope, providing a promising candidate for lignocellulosic biomass biorefinery.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) catalyze oxidative cleavage of crystalline polysaccharides such as cellulose and are crucial for the conversion of plant biomass in Nature and in industrial applications. Sunlight promotes microbial conversion of plant litter; this effect has been attributed to photochemical degradation of lignin, a major redox-active component of secondary plant cell walls that limits enzyme access to the cell wall carbohydrates. Here, we show that exposing lignin to visible light facilitates cellulose solubilization by promoting formation of H2O2 that fuels LPMO catalysis. Light-driven H2O2 formation is accompanied by oxidation of ring-conjugated olefins in the lignin, while LPMO-catalyzed oxidation of phenolic hydroxyls leads to the required priming reduction of the enzyme. The discovery that light-driven abiotic reactions in Nature can fuel H2O2-dependent redox enzymes involved in deconstructing lignocellulose may offer opportunities for bioprocessing and provides an enzymatic explanation for the known effect of visible light on biomass conversion.

Abstract
This review provides a report on the properties and recent advances in the application of chitosan and chitosan-based materials in cosmetics. Chitosan is a polysaccharide that can be obtained from chitin via the deacetylation process. Chitin most commonly is extracted from cell walls in fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as crustaceans and insects. Chitosan has attracted significant academic interest, as well as the attention of the cosmetic industry, due to its interesting properties, which include being a natural humectant and moisturizer for the skin and a rheology modifier. This review paper covers the structure of chitosan, the sources of chitosan used in the cosmetic industry, and the role played by this polysaccharide in cosmetics. Future aspects regarding applications of chitosan-based materials in cosmetics are also mentioned.

Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis, known to be one of the most important biocontrol microorganisms, contains three AA10 family lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) in its genome. In previous reports, two of them, BtLPMO10A and BtLPMO10B, have been preliminarily characterized. However, some important biochemical features and substrate preference, as well as their potential applications in chitin degradation, still deserve further investigation. Results from present study showed that both BtLPMO10A and BtLPMO10B exhibit similar catalytic domains as well as highly conserved substrate-binding planes. However, unlike BtLPMO10A, which has comparable binding ability to both crystalline and amorphous form of chitins, BtLPMO10B exhibited much stronger binding ability to colloidal chitin, which mainly attribute to its carbohydrate-binding module-5 (CBM5). Interestingly, the relative high binding ability of BtLPMO10B to colloidal chitin does not lead to high catalytic activity of the enzyme. In contrast, the enzyme exhibited higher activity on β-chitin. Further experiments showed that the binding of BtLPMO10B to colloidal chitin was mainly non-productive, indicating a complicated role for CBM5 in LPMO activity. Furthermore, synergistic experiments demonstrated that both LPMOs boosted the activity of the chitinase, and the higher efficiency of BtLPMO10A can be overridden by BtLPMO10B.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have the potential to improve recalcitrant polysaccharide hydrolysis by the oxidizing cleavage of glycosidic bond. Streptomyces species are major chitin decomposers in soil ecological environments and encode multiple lpmo genes. In this study, we demonstrated that transcription of the lpmo gene, Sclpmo10G, in the Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) (ScA3(2)) strain is strongly induced by chitin. The ScLPMO10G protein was further expressed in Escherichia coli and characterized in vitro. The ScLPMO10G protein showed oxidation activity towards chitin. Chitinase synergy experiments demonstrated that the addition of ScLPMO10G resulted in a substantial in vitro increase in the reducing sugar levels. Moreover, in vivo the LPMO-overexpressing strain ScΔLPMO10G(+) showed stronger chitin-degrading ability than the wild-type, leading to a 2.97-fold increase in reducing sugar level following chitin degradation. The total chitinase activity of ScΔLPMO10G(+) was 1.5-fold higher than that of ScA3(2). In summary, ScLPMO10G may play a role in chitin biodegradation in S. coelicolor, which could have potential applications in biorefineries.

On the impact of carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) in lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). Essays Biochem 2022; 67:561-574. [PMID: 36504118 PMCID: PMC10154629 DOI: 10.1042/ebc20220162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have revolutionized our understanding of how enzymes degrade insoluble polysaccharides. Compared with the substantial knowledge developed on the structure and mode of action of the catalytic LPMO domains, the (multi)modularity of LPMOs has received less attention. The presence of other domains, in particular carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), tethered to LPMOs has profound implications for the catalytic performance of the full-length enzymes. In the last few years, studies on LPMO modularity have led to advancements in elucidating how CBMs, other domains, and linker regions influence LPMO structure and function. This mini review summarizes recent literature, with particular focus on comparative truncation studies, to provide an overview of the diversity in LPMO modularity and the functional implications of this diversity.

Abstract
Given that traditional biorefineries have been based on microbial fermentation to produce useful fuels, materials, and chemicals as metabolites, saccharification is an important step to obtain fermentable sugars from biomass. It is well-known that glycosidic hydrolases (GHs) are responsible for the saccharification of recalcitrant polysaccharides through hydrolysis, but the discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO), which is a kind of oxidative enzyme involved in cleaving polysaccharides and boosting GH performance, has profoundly changed the understanding of enzyme-based saccharification. This review briefly introduces the classification, structural information, and catalytic mechanism of LPMOs. In addition to recombinant expression strategies, synergistic effects with GH are comprehensively discussed. Challenges and perspectives for LPMO-based saccharification on a large scale are also briefly mentioned. Ultimately, this review can provide insights for constructing an economically viable lignocellulose-based biorefinery system and a closed-carbon loop to cope with climate change.

Chitin-Active Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases Are Rare in Cellulomonas Species. Appl Environ Microbiol 2022; 88:e0096822. [PMID: 35862679 PMCID: PMC9361826 DOI: 10.1128/aem.00968-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Cellulomonas flavigena is a saprotrophic bacterium that encodes, within its genome, four predicted lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) from Auxiliary Activity family 10 (AA10). We showed previously that three of these cleave the plant polysaccharide cellulose by oxidation at carbon-1 (J. Li, L. Solhi, E.D. Goddard-Borger, Y. Mattieu et al., Biotechnol Biofuels 14:29, 2021, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-020-01860-3). Here, we present the biochemical characterization of the fourth C. flavigena AA10 member (CflaLPMO10D) as a chitin-active LPMO. Both the full-length CflaLPMO10D-Carbohydrate-Binding Module family 2 (CBM2) and catalytic module-only proteins were produced in Escherichia coli using the native general secretory (Sec) signal peptide. To quantify chitinolytic activity, we developed a high-performance anion-exchange chromatography-pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) method as an alternative to the established hydrophilic interaction liquid ion chromatography coupled with UV detection (HILIC-UV) method for separation and detection of released oxidized chito-oligosaccharides. Using this method, we demonstrated that CflaLPMO10D is strictly active on the β-allomorph of chitin, with optimal activity at pH 5 to 6 and a preference for ascorbic acid as the reducing agent. We also demonstrated the importance of the CBM2 member for both mediating enzyme localization to substrates and prolonging LPMO activity. Together with previous work, the present study defines the distinct substrate specificities of the suite of C. flavigena AA10 members. Notably, a cross-genome survey of AA10 members indicated that chitinolytic LPMOs are, in fact, rare among Cellulomonas bacteria. IMPORTANCE Species from the genus Cellulomonas have a long history of study due to their roles in biomass recycling in nature and corresponding potential as sources of enzymes for biotechnological applications. Although Cellulomonas species are more commonly associated with the cleavage and utilization of plant cell wall polysaccharides, here, we show that C. flavigena produces a unique lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase with activity on β-chitin, which is found, for example, in arthropods. The limited distribution of orthologous chitinolytic LPMOs suggests adaptation of individual cellulomonads to specific nutrient niches present in soil ecosystems. This research provides new insight into the biochemical specificity of LPMOs in Cellulomonas species and related bacteria, and it raises new questions about the physiological function of these enzymes.

Chitinolytic enzymes contribute to the pathogenicity of Aliivibrio salmonicida LFI1238 in the invasive phase of cold-water vibriosis. BMC Microbiol 2022; 22:194.

Abstract
Background Aliivibrio salmonicida is the causative agent of cold-water vibriosis in salmonids (Oncorhynchus mykiss and Salmo salar L.) and gadidae (Gadus morhua L.). Virulence-associated factors that are essential for the full spectrum of A. salmonicida pathogenicity are largely unknown. Chitin-active lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have been indicated to play roles in both chitin degradation and virulence in a variety of pathogenic bacteria but are largely unexplored in this context. Results In the present study we investigated the role of LPMOs in the pathogenicity of A. salmonicida LFI238 in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). In vivo challenge experiments using isogenic deletion mutants of the two LPMOs encoding genes AsLPMO10A and AsLPMO10B, showed that both LPMOs, and in particular AsLPMO10B, were important in the invasive phase of cold-water vibriosis. Crystallographic analysis of the AsLPMO10B AA10 LPMO domain (to 1.4 Å resolution) revealed high structural similarity to viral fusolin, an LPMO known to enhance the virulence of insecticidal agents. Finally, exposure to Atlantic salmon serum resulted in substantial proteome re-organization of the A. salmonicida LPMO deletion variants compared to the wild type strain, indicating the struggle of the bacterium to adapt to the host immune components in the absence of the LPMOs. Conclusion The present study consolidates the role of LPMOs in virulence and demonstrates that such enzymes may have more than one function.

Abstract
Chitosan and its derivatives have numerous applications in wastewater treatment as bio-coagulants, flocculants and bio-adsorbents against both particulate and dissolved pollutants. Chitinolytic bacteria secrete an array of enzymes, which play crucial role in chitin to chitosan conversion. Consequently, there is a growing demand for identification and characterization of novel bacterial isolates with potential implications in chitosan production. We describe genomic features of the new isolate Streptomyces sp. UH6. Analysis of the 6.51 Mb genome revealed the GC content as 71.95% and presence of 6990 coding sequences of which 63% were functionally annotated. Further, we identified two possible chitin-utilization pathways, which employ secreted enzymes like lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases and family-18 glycoside hydrolases (GHs). More importantly, the genome has six family-4 polysaccharide deacetylases with probable role in chitin to chitosan conversion, as well as two chitosanases belonging to GH46 and GH75 families. In addition, the gene clusters, dasABC and ngcEFG coding for transporters, which mediate the uptake of N,N'-diacetylchitobiose and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine were identified. Several genes responsible for hydrolysis of other polysaccharides and fermentation of sugars were also identified. Taken together, the phylogenetic and genomic analyses suggest that the isolate Streptomyces sp. UH6 secretes potential chitin-active enzymes responsible for chitin to chitosan conversion.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases could enhance the enzymatic conversion of recalcitrant polysaccharides by glycoside hydrolases. This study reports the expression and identification of a novel AA10 LPMO from Natrialbaceae archaeon, named NaLPMO10A, as a C1 oxidizer of chitin. The optimal temperature and pH for NaLPMO10A activity were 40 °C and 9.0, respectively, and NaLPMO10A exhibited high thermostability and pH stability under alkaline conditions. NaLPMO10A was also highly tolerant and stable when treated with high concentration of metal ions (1 M). Moreover, metal ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) significantly promoted NaLPMO10A activity and improved the saccharification efficiency of chitin by 22.6%, 45.9%, 36.7% and 53.9%, respectively, compared to commercial chitinase alone. Together, the findings of this study fill a gap in archaeal LPMO research, and for the first time demonstrate that archaeal NaLPMO10A could be a promising enzyme for improving saccharification under extreme condition, with potential applications in biorefineries.

Abstract
Peptidoglycan is a major constituent of the bacterial cell wall and an important determinant for providing protection to cells. In addition to peptidoglycan, many bacteria synthesize other glycans that become part of the cell wall. Streptomycetes grow apically, where they synthesize a glycan that is exposed at the outer surface, but how it gets there is unknown. Here, we show that deposition of the apical glycan at the cell surface of Streptomyces coelicolor depends on two key enzymes, the glucanase CslZ and the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase LpmP. Activity of these enzymes allows localized remodeling and degradation of the peptidoglycan, and we propose that this facilitates passage of the glycan. The absence of both enzymes not only prevents morphological development but also sensitizes strains to lysozyme. Given that lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases are commonly found in microbes, this newly identified biological role in cell wall remodeling may be widespread.

Abstract
Out of the huge quantity of agricultural wastes produced globally, rice straw is one of the most abundant ligno-cellulosic waste. For efficient utilization of these wastes, several cost-effective biological processes are available. The practice of field level in-situ or ex-situ decomposition of rice straw is having less degree of adoption due to its poor decomposition ability within a short time span between rice harvest and sowing of the next crop. Agricultural wastes including rice straw are in general utilized by using lignocellulose degrading microbes for industrial metabolite or compost production. However, bioconversion of crystalline cellulose and lignin present in the waste, into simple molecules is a challenging task. To resolve this issue, researchers have identified a novel new generation microbial enzyme i.e., lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and reported that the combination of LPMOs with other glycolytic enzymes are found efficient. This review explains the progress made in LPMOs and their role in lignocellulose bioconversion and the possibility of exploring LPMOs producers for rapid decomposition of agricultural wastes. Also, it provides insights to identify the knowledge gaps in improving the potential of the existing ligno-cellulolytic microbial consortium for efficient utilization of agricultural wastes at industrial and field levels.

Abstract
The discovery of oxidative cleavage of recalcitrant polysaccharides by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has affected the study and industrial application of enzymatic biomass processing. Despite being widespread in fungi, LPMOs belonging to the auxiliary activity (AA) family AA11 have been understudied. While these LPMOs are considered chitin active, some family members have little or no activity toward chitin, and the only available crystal structure of an AA11 LPMO lacks features found in bacterial chitin-active AA10 LPMOs. Here, we report structural and functional characteristics of a single-domain AA11 LPMO from Aspergillus fumigatus, AfAA11A. The crystal structure shows a substrate-binding surface with features resembling those of known chitin-active LPMOs. Indeed, despite the absence of a carbohydrate-binding module, AfAA11A has considerable affinity for α-chitin and, more so, β-chitin. AfAA11A is active toward both these chitin allomorphs and enhances chitin degradation by an endoacting chitinase, in particular for α-chitin. The catalytic activity of AfAA11A on chitin increases when supplying reactions with hydrogen peroxide, showing that, like LPMOs from other families, AfAA11A has peroxygenase activity. These results show that, in stark contrast to the previously characterized AfAA11B from the same organism, AfAA11A likely plays a role in fungal chitin turnover. Thus, members of the hitherto rather enigmatic family of AA11 LPMOs show considerable structural and functional differences and may have multiple roles in fungal physiology.

Abstract
The fish pathogen Aliivibrio (Vibrio) salmonicida LFI1238 is thought to be incapable of utilizing chitin as a nutrient source since approximately half of the genes representing the chitinolytic pathway are disrupted by insertion sequences. In the present study, we combined a broad set of analytical methods to investigate this hypothesis. Cultivation studies revealed that Al. salmonicida grew efficiently on N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and chitobiose ((GlcNAc)2), the primary soluble products resulting from enzymatic chitin hydrolysis. The bacterium was also able to grow on chitin particles, albeit at a lower rate compared to the soluble substrates. The genome of the bacterium contains five disrupted chitinase genes (pseudogenes) and three intact genes encoding a glycoside hydrolase family 18 (GH18) chitinase and two auxiliary activity family 10 (AA10) lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). Biochemical characterization showed that the chitinase and LPMOs were able to depolymerize both α- and β-chitin to (GlcNAc)2 and oxidized chitooligosaccharides, respectively. Notably, the chitinase displayed up to 50-fold lower activity compared to other well-studied chitinases. Deletion of the genes encoding the intact chitinolytic enzymes showed that the chitinase was important for growth on β-chitin, whereas the LPMO gene-deletion variants only showed minor growth defects on this substrate. Finally, proteomic analysis of Al. salmonicida LFI1238 growth on β-chitin showed expression of all three chitinolytic enzymes, and intriguingly also three of the disrupted chitinases. In conclusion, our results show that Al. salmonicida LFI1238 can utilize chitin as a nutrient source and that the GH18 chitinase and the two LPMOs are needed for this ability. IMPORTANCE The ability to utilize chitin as a source of nutrients is important for the survival and spread of marine microbial pathogens in the environment. One such pathogen is Aliivibrio (Vibrio) salmonicida, the causative agent of cold water vibriosis. Due to extensive gene decay, many key enzymes in the chitinolytic pathway have been disrupted, putatively rendering this bacterium incapable of chitin degradation and utilization. In the present study we demonstrate that Al. salmonicida can degrade and metabolize chitin, the most abundant biopolymer in the ocean. Our findings shed new light on the environmental adaption of this fish pathogen.

Also included are papers that describe methods appropriate to analysis by MALDI, such as sample preparation techniques, even though the ionization method is not MALDI. Topics covered in the first part of the review include general aspects such as theory of the MALDI process, matrices, derivatization, MALDI imaging, fragmentation and arrays. The second part of the review is devoted to applications to various structural types such as oligo- and poly-saccharides, glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosides and biopharmaceuticals. Much of this material is presented in tabular form. The third part of the review covers medical and industrial applications of the technique, studies of enzyme reactions and applications to chemical synthesis. The reported work shows increasing use of combined new techniques such as ion mobility and the enormous impact that MALDI imaging is having. MALDI, although invented over 30 years ago is still an ideal technique for carbohydrate analysis and advancements in the technique and range of applications show no sign of deminishing. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are attracting large attention due their ability to degrade recalcitrant polysaccharides in biomass conversion and to perform powerful redox chemistry. RESULTS We have established a universal Pichia pastoris platform for the expression of fungal LPMOs using state-of-the-art recombination cloning and modern molecular biological tools to achieve high yields from shake-flask cultivation and simple tag-less single-step purification. Yields are very favorable with up to 42 mg per liter medium for four different LPMOs spanning three different families. Moreover, we report for the first time of a yeast-originating signal peptide from the dolichyl-diphosphooligosaccharide-protein glycosyltransferase subunit 1 (OST1) form S. cerevisiae efficiently secreting and successfully processes the N-terminus of LPMOs yielding in fully functional enzymes. CONCLUSION The work demonstrates that the industrially most relevant expression host P. pastoris can be used to express fungal LPMOs from different families in high yields and inherent purity. The presented protocols are standardized and require little equipment with an additional advantage with short cultivation periods.

Abstract
Several oligosaccharide fragments derived from plant cell walls activate plant immunity and behave as typical damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Some of them also behave as negative regulators of growth and development, and due to their antithetic effect on immunity and growth, their concentrations, activity, time of formation, and localization is critical for the so-called "growth-defense trade-off." Moreover, like in animals, over accumulation of DAMPs in plants provokes deleterious physiological effects and may cause hyper-immunity if the cellular mechanisms controlling their homeostasis fail. Recently, a mechanism has been discovered that controls the activity of two well-known plant DAMPs, oligogalacturonides (OGs), released upon hydrolysis of homogalacturonan (HG), and cellodextrins (CDs), products of cellulose breakdown. The potential homeostatic mechanism involves specific oxidases belonging to the family of berberine bridge enzyme-like (BBE-like) proteins. Oxidation of OGs and CDs not only inactivates their DAMP activity, but also makes them a significantly less desirable food source for microbial pathogens. The evidence that oxidation and inactivation of OGs and CDs may be a general strategy of plants for controlling the homeostasis of DAMPs is discussed. The possibility exists of discovering additional oxidative and/or inactivating enzymes targeting other DAMP molecules both in the plant and in animal kingdoms.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are redox-active enzymes that cleave insoluble polysaccharides by an oxidative reaction. In the present study, we have characterized four recombinant putative chitin-active LPMOs from Streptomyces griseus (SgLPMO10B, -C, -D, and -F) and evaluated their potential in enhancing hydrolysis of α- and β-chitin by three families of 18 chitinases of Serratia marcescens, SmChiA, -B, and -C. All four recombinant SgLPMO10s showed oxidative activity toward both α- and β-chitin but exhibited different abilities to promote the release of chitobiose from chitin by chitinases depending on both the chitinase and the chitin type. These effects were observed under conditions where the amount of LPMO in the reaction was not rate-limiting, showing that the observed functional differences relate to different abilities of the LPMOs to interact with and act on the substrate. These results show that four seemingly similar LPMOs carrying out the same reaction, cleavage of chitin by C1 oxidation, may have different roles in natural chitin conversion, which provides a rationale for the multiplicity of these enzymes within the same organism. The ability of the LPMOs to act on more natural substrates was demonstrated by showing that SgLPMO10B improved chitin solubilization in dried powdered shrimp shells.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 105:197-210. [PMID: 33230603 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-11002-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are auxiliary enzymes catalyzing oxidative cleavages of cellulose chains in crystalline regions, resulting in their increasing accessibility to the hydrolytic enzyme counterparts and hence higher released sugars from biomass saccharification. In this study, a novel auxiliary protein family 9 LPMO (BgAA9) was identified from a metagenomic library derived from a thermophilic microbial community in bagasse collection site where diverse AA9 and AA10 putative sequences were annotated. The enzyme showed highest similarity to a glycoside hydrolase family 61 from Chaetomium thermophilum. Recombinant BgAA9 expressed in Pichia pastoris cleaved cellohexaose (DP6) into shorter cellooligosaccharides (DP2, DP3, and DP4). Supplementation BgAA9 to a commercial cellulase, Accellerase® 1500 showed strong synergistic effect on saccharification of Avicel® PH101, decrystallized cellulose, filter paper, and alkaline-pretreated sugarcane bagasse, resulting in 63-93% increase in the total reducing sugar yield after incubation at 50 °C for 72 h. Strong synergism was shown between BgAA9 and the cellulase with the highest total fermentable sugar yield obtained from 75:25% of Accellerase®1500:BgAA9 which released 39 mg glucose/FPU (filter paper unit) equivalent to 38.7% higher than Accellerase®1500 alone at the same total protein dosage of 5 mg/g substrate according to the mixture design study. The enzyme represented the first characterized LPMO from environmental metagenome and a potent auxiliary component for biomass saccharification. KEY POINTS: • BgAA9 represents the first characterized LPMO from metagenome. • 12 AA families were annotated in thermophilic bagasse fosmid library by NGS. • BgAA9 showed homology to Cel61 in Chaetomium thermophilum. • BgAA9 oxidized cellohexaose and PASC to DP2, DP4, and DP6. • BgAA9 showed strong synergism to Accellerase on bagasse hydrolysis.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono-copper enzymes that catalyze the hydroxylation of glycosidic bonds found in the most abundant and recalcitrant polysaccharides on Earth. Since their discovery in 2010, these enzymes have received extensive attention in both fundamental and applied research due to their remarkable oxidative power and synergistic interplay with hydrolytic enzymes. The harsh and unnatural conditions used in industrial enzymatic saccharification processes and the sensitivity of LPMOs for damage induced by reactive oxygen species call for enzyme engineering to develop LPMOs to become robust industrial biocatalysts. Other engineering targets include improved catalytic activity, adjusted substrate specificity and the introduction of completely new activities. Reaching these targets not only requires appropriate methods for measuring enzyme activity, but also requires in-depth knowledge of the active site and the reaction mechanism, which is yet to be achieved in the LPMO field. Here we describe what has been done in the LPMO engineering field so far. Furthermore, we address the difficulties involved in properly assessing LPMO functionality, which are due to common side reactions taking place in LPMO reactions and which complicate screening methods.

Abstract
Brevibacillus offers great potential as a recombinant protein expression host because of its exceptional abilities to synthesize and excrete proteins and its low extracellular protease activity. Despite these strengths, effective recombinant expression strategies are still the key to achieving high-level expression of recombinant proteins in Brevibacillus due to individual differences among strains and target proteins. Many strategies have been developed to improve recombinant protein expression in Brevibacillus. This review begins by introducing the processes used to establish and apply the Brevibacillus expression system, and then critically discusses the strategies available for improving recombinant protein expression in Brevibacillus, including optimization of the host and the expression vector, co-expression of a fusion partner or foldase, and optimization of the fermentation process. Finally, the prospects for further improvement of recombinant protein expression based on Brevibacillus are also discussed. This review is intended to provide a strategic reference for scientists wanting to improve the expression of a specific recombinant protein in Brevibacillus or other expression systems.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are enzymes that degrade polysaccharides with an oxidative mechanism and contributed to the efficiency in biomass degradation by glycoside hydrolases (GHs). In this study, the substrate and reaction specificity of SgLPMO10A that was an auxiliary activity family 10 (AA10) enzyme with a carbohydrate binding module family 2 (CBM2) domain from Streptomyces griseus, was analyzed. This enzyme produced oxidized cello-oligosaccharides from cellulose and boosted cellulose degradation by cellulases. Detailed study of the AA10 and CBM2 domains revealed that the binding ability of SgLPMO10A depended on CBM2 and that only the AA10 domain functions more effectively in the presence of a certain amount of substrates.

Abstract
Findings from recent studies have indicated that enzymes containing more than one catalytic domain may be particularly powerful in the degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides such as chitin and cellulose. Some known multicatalytic enzymes contain several glycoside hydrolase domains and one or more carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). Here, using bioinformatics and biochemical analyses, we identified an enzyme, Jd1381 from the actinobacterium Jonesia denitrificans, that uniquely combines two different polysaccharide-degrading activities. We found that Jd1381 contains an N-terminal family AA10 lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO), a family 5 chitin-binding domain (CBM5), and a family 18 chitinase (Chi18) domain. The full-length enzyme, which seems to be the only chitinase produced by J. denitrificans, degraded both α- and β-chitin. Both the chitinase and the LPMO activities of Jd1381 were similar to those of other individual chitinases and LPMOs, and the overall efficiency of chitin degradation by full-length Jd1381 depended on its chitinase and LPMO activities. Of note, the chitin-degrading activity of Jd1381 was comparable with or exceeded the activities of combinations of well-known chitinases and an LPMO from Serratia marcescens Importantly, comparison of the chitinolytic efficiency of Jd1381 with the efficiencies of combinations of truncated variants-JdLPMO10 and JdCBM5-Chi18 or JdLPMO10-CBM5 and JdChi18-indicated that optimal Jd1381 activity requires close spatial proximity of the LPMO10 and the Chi18 domains. The demonstration of intramolecular synergy between LPMOs and hydrolytic enzymes reported here opens new avenues toward the development of efficient catalysts for biomass conversion.

Abstract
AbstractRenewable biomass such as cellulose and chitin are the most abundant sustainable sources of energy and materials. However, due to the low degradation efficiency of these recalcitrant substrates by conventional hydrolases, these biomass resources cannot be utilized efficiently. In 2010, the discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) led to a major breakthrough. Currently, LPMOs are distributed in 7 families in CAZy database, including AA9–11 and AA13–16, with different species origins, substrate specificity and oxidative regioselectivity. Effective application of LPMOs in the biotransformation of biomass resources needs the elucidation of the molecular basis of their function. Since the discovery of LPMOs, great advances have been made in the study of their substrate specificity and regioselectivity, as well as their structural basis, which will be reviewed below.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) opened a new horizon for biomass deconstruction. They use a redox mechanism not yet fully understood and the range of substrates initially envisaged to be the crystalline polysaccharides is steadily expanding to non-crystalline ones. RESULTS The enzyme KpLPMO10A from the actinomycete Kitasatospora papulosa was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli cells in the functional form with native N-terminal. The enzyme can release oxidized species from chitin (C1-type oxidation) and cellulose (C1/C4-type oxidation) similarly to other AA10 members from clade II (subclade A). Interestingly, KpLPMO10A also cleaves isolated xylan (not complexed with cellulose, C4-type oxidation), a rare activity among LPMOs not described yet for the AA10 family. The synergistic effect of KpLPMO10A with Celluclast® and an endo-β-1,4-xylanase also supports this finding. The crystallographic elucidation of KpLPMO10A at 1.6 Å resolution along with extensive structural analyses did not indicate any evident difference with other characterized AA10 LPMOs at the catalytic interface, tempting us to suggest that these enzymes might also be active on xylan or that the ability to attack both crystalline and non-crystalline substrates involves yet obscure mechanisms of substrate recognition and binding. CONCLUSIONS This work expands the spectrum of substrates recognized by AA10 family, opening a new perspective for the understanding of the synergistic effect of these enzymes with canonical glycoside hydrolases to deconstruct ligno(hemi)cellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of 1,4-glycosidic bonds various plant cell wall polysaccharides and chitin. In contrast to glycoside hydrolases, LPMOs are active on the crystalline regions of polysaccharides and thus synergize with hydrolytic enzymes. This synergism leads to an overall increase in the biomass-degradation activity of enzyme mixtures. Chitin-active LPMOs were discovered in 2010 and are currently classified in families AA10, AA11, and AA15 of the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes database, which include LPMOs from bacteria, fungi, insects, and viruses. LPMOs have become important enzymes both industrially and scientifically and, in this chapter, we provide a brief introduction to chitin-active LPMOs including a summary of the 20+ chitin-active LPMOs that have been characterized so far. Then, we describe their structural features, catalytic mechanism, and appended carbohydrate modules. Finally, we show how chitin-active LPMOs can be used to perform chemo-enzymatic modification of chitin substrates.

Abstract
Biomass constitutes an appealing alternative to fossil resources for the production of materials and energy. The abundance and attractiveness of vegetal biomass come along with challenges pertaining to the intricacy of its structure, evolved during billions of years to face and resist abiotic and biotic attacks. To achieve the daunting goal of plant cell wall decomposition, microorganisms have developed many (enzymatic) strategies, from which we seek inspiration to develop biotechnological processes. A major breakthrough in the field has been the discovery of enzymes today known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), which, by catalyzing the oxidative cleavage of recalcitrant polysaccharides, allow canonical hydrolytic enzymes to depolymerize the biomass more efficiently. Very recently, it has been shown that LPMOs are not classical monooxygenases in that they can also use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant. This discovery calls for a revision of our understanding of how lignocellulolytic enzymes are connected since H2O2 is produced and used by several of them. The first part of this review is dedicated to the LPMO paradigm, describing knowns, unknowns, and uncertainties. We then present different lignocellulolytic redox systems, enzymatic or not, that depend on fluxes of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Based on an assessment of these putatively interconnected systems, we suggest that fine-tuning of H2O2 levels and proximity between sites of H2O2 production and consumption are important for fungal biomass conversion. In the last part of this review, we discuss how our evolving understanding of redox processes involved in biomass depolymerization may translate into industrial applications.

Abstract
In the model species Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), the uptake of chitin-degradation byproducts, mainly N,N′- diacetylchitobiose ([GlcNAc]2) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), is performed by the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter DasABC-MsiK and the sugar-phosphotransferase system (PTS), respectively. Studies on the S. coelicolor chromosome have suggested the occurrence of additional uptake systems of GlcNAc-related compounds, including the SCO6005–7 cluster, which is orthologous to the ABC transporter NgcEFG of S. olivaceoviridis. However, despite conserved synteny between the clusters in S. coelicolor and S. olivaceoviridis, homology between them is low, with only 35% of residues being identical between NgcE proteins, suggesting different binding specificities. Isothermal titration calorimetry experiments revealed that recombinant NgcESco interacts with GlcNAc and (GlcNAc)2, with Kd values (1.15 and 1.53 μM, respectively) that were higher than those of NgcE of S. olivaceoviridis (8.3 and 29 nM, respectively). The disruption of ngcESco delayed (GlcNAc)2 consumption, but did not affect GlcNAc consumption ability. The ngcESco-dasA double mutation severely decreased the ability to consume (GlcNAc)2 and abolished the induction of chitinase production in the presence of (GlcNAc)2, but did not affect the GlcNAc consumption rate. The results of these biochemical and reverse genetic analyses indicate that NgcESco acts as a (GlcNAc)2- binding protein of the ABC transporter NgcEFGSco-MsiK. Transcriptional and biochemical analyses of gene regulation demonstrated that the ngcESco gene was slightly induced by GlcNAc, (GlcNAc)2, and chitin, but repressed by DasR. Therefore, a model was proposed for the induction of the chitinolytic system and import of (GlcNAc)2, in which (GlcNAc)2 generated from chitin by chitinase produced leakily, is mainly transported via NgcEFG-MsiK and induces the expression of chitinase genes and dasABCD.

Abstract
Actinobacteria, a large group of Gram-positive bacteria, secrete a wide range of extracellular enzymes involved in the degradation of organic compounds and biopolymers including the ubiquitous aminopolysaccharides chitin and chitosan. While chitinolytic enzymes are distributed in all kingdoms of life, actinobacteria are recognized as particularly good decomposers of chitinous material and several members of this taxon carry impressive sets of genes dedicated to chitin and chitosan degradation. Degradation of these polymers in actinobacteria is dependent on endo- and exo-acting hydrolases as well as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases. Actinobacterial chitinases and chitosanases belong to nine major families of glycosyl hydrolases that share no sequence similarity. In this paper, the distribution of chitinolytic actinobacteria within different ecosystems is examined and their chitinolytic machinery is described and compared to those of other chitinolytic organisms.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are major players in biomass conversion, both in Nature and in the biorefining industry. How the monocopper LPMO active site is positioned relative to the crystalline substrate surface to catalyze powerful, but potentially self-destructive, oxidative chemistry is one of the major questions in the field. We have adopted a multidisciplinary approach, combining biochemical, spectroscopic, and molecular modeling methods to study chitin binding by the well-studied LPMO from Serratia marcescens SmAA10A (or CBP21). The orientation of the enzyme on a single-chain substrate was determined by analyzing enzyme cutting patterns. Building on this analysis, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study interactions between the LPMO and three different surface topologies of crystalline chitin. The resulting atomistic models showed that most enzyme-substrate interactions involve the polysaccharide chain that is to be cleaved. The models also revealed a constrained active site geometry as well as a tunnel connecting the bulk solvent to the copper site, through which only small molecules such as H2O, O2, and H2O2 can diffuse. Furthermore, MD simulations, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrate that rearrangement of Cu-coordinating water molecules is necessary when binding the substrate and also provide a rationale for the experimentally observed C1 oxidative regiospecificity of SmAA10A. This study provides a first, experimentally supported, atomistic view of the interactions between an LPMO and crystalline chitin. The confinement of the catalytic center is likely crucially important for controlling the oxidative chemistry performed by LPMOs and will help guide future mechanistic studies.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have recently been shown to significantly enhance the degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides and are of interest for the production of biochemicals and bioethanol from plant biomass. The copper-containing LPMOs utilize electrons, provided by reducing agents, to oxidatively cleave polysaccharides. Here, we report the development of a β-glucosidase-assisted method to quantify the release of C1-oxidized gluco-oligosaccharides from cellulose by two C1-oxidizing LPMOs from Myceliophthora thermophila C1. Based on this quantification method, we demonstrate that the catalytic performance of both MtLPMOs is strongly dependent on pH and temperature. The obtained results indicate that the catalytic performance of LPMOs depends on the interaction of multiple factors, which are affected by both pH and temperature.

Abstract
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) can oxidize recalcitrant polysaccharides and boost the conversion of the second most abundant polysaccharide chitin by chitinase. In this study, we aimed to achieve the efficient extracellular production of Serratia marcescens LPMO CBP21 and Aeromonas veronii B565 chitinase Chi92 by Escherichia coli. Twelve signal peptides reported with high secretion efficiency were screened to assess the extracellular production efficiency of CBP21 and Chi92, with glycine used as a medium supplement. The results showed that PelB was the most productive signal peptide for the extracellular production of CBP21 and Chi92 in E. coli. Furthermore, CBP21 facilitated the degradation of the three chitin substrates (colloidal chitin, β-chitin, and α-chitin) by Chi92. This study will be valuable for the industrial production and application of the two enzymes for chitin degradation.

Abstract
Bacteria have long been known to secrete enzymes that degrade cellulose and chitin. The degradation of these two polymers predominantly involves two enzyme families that work synergistically with one another: glycoside hydrolases (GHs) and polysaccharide monooxygenases (PMOs). Although bacterial PMOs are a relatively recent addition to the known biopolymer degradation machinery, there is an extensive amount of literature implicating PMO in numerous physiological roles. This review focuses on these diverse and physiological aspects of bacterial PMOs, including facilitating endosymbiosis, conferring a nutritional advantage, and enhancing virulence in pathogenic organisms. We also discuss the correlation between the presence of PMOs and bacterial lifestyle and speculate on the advantages conferred by PMOs under these conditions. In addition, the molecular aspects of bacterial PMOs, as well as the mechanisms regulating PMO expression and the function of additional domains associated with PMOs, are described. We anticipate that increasing research efforts in this field will continue to expand our understanding of the molecular and physiological roles of bacterial PMOs.

Abstract
Pioneering biochemical, immunological, physiological and microscopic studies in combination with gene cloning allowed uncovering previously unknown genes encoding proteins of streptomycetes to target crystalline chitin and cellulose as well as their soluble degradation-compounds via binding protein dependent transporters. Complementary analyses provoked an understanding of novel regulators governing transcription of selected genes. These discoveries induced detecting close and distant homologues of former orphan proteins encoded by genes from different bacteria. Grounded on structure-function-relationships, several researchers identified a few of these proteins as novel members of the growing family for lytic polysaccharides monooxygenases. Exemplary, the ecological significance of the characterized proteins including their role to promote interactions among organisms is outlined and discussed.
